Everyone, let's please keep discussion relating to the interactive shell
*with* readline out of this thread. Unless you are using the interactive
mode *without* readline, your usage will not be affected by the proposed
change.

If you want to discuss improvements to php -a *with* readline, then please
do so in a different thread.

Regards,
Nikita
